Reveal the Father

One final question to ask as we discuss the sovereignty of God –

Who did the sovereign God delegate authority to on the earth?

Genesis 1:26-29 gives us the answer:

“Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created mankind in his own image,

    in the image of God he created them;

    male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”

 

God is the chief being of the universe with the supreme power of the universe and He has delegated that power through a decree of His word so that the sons and daughters have authority to expand His kingdom on the earth.

 Are you a son or daughter of God?

Have you become a citizen of the Kingdom of God through the way made possible when Jesus died on the cross?

Do you understand the Great Commission we have been given is not just a message we speak but also a message we live before others?

Does your life compel others to come into the Kingdom?

Do you exercise His authority in the earth?

Jesus walked in that authority.

Others were drawn to the Kingdom, not through force but because He revealed His Father, the King, in a way they had not known or seen before.

May our lives do the same!
